A trip down Memory Lane - BBC computer games site!

I was surprised just how much I remembered when I found this

The BBC had some classic games, I had a Master Series one but it died when the disk drive broke some years ago.

I'm not sure how the emulators work or if they work with Win XP...??? (If I'm not supposed to discuss this, I apologise).

I remember the er, "educational" programs too (I bet EVERYONE who was at primary school during the period '83-92 played "Granny's Garden" or "The Lost Frog"). I did!

(was there from '87-'93).

I had an Acorn Electron, which is a cut down version of the BBC.

Only game i remmeber is Rocket Ranger and remmeebr never being able to beat the 5th and final level.

Wish i had Elite, but was probably too advanced for me at the time.

I remember the classic Chuckie Egg

I have a PC version of that somewhere.
And the Repton games... they were awesome.

ah chuckie egg was great, didnt play it back in the day but i did when i got into emulation. Such imagination in those days, Jet Set Willy is still the most surreal gaming experinece for me. Although i cant play it, too damn hard !
